New build. No log specific to Mobile

14393.5

 

From the feedback hub app:

Quote
  • We have improved reliability and performance of Microsoft Edge with AdBlock and LastPass extensions enabled. These extensions should continue to work after installing other extension updates from the Store.
  • We fixed an issue causing battery to drain due to runaway CPU processes while a device is idle. We also fixed a battery life issue due to the proximity sensor always running on some devices.
  • We fixed an issue causing Store apps to stop launching due to a licensing issue.
  • We have fixed an issue that results in Windows Updates being delayed on systems with Connected Standby.
  • We fixed an issue where the Korean IME would not have the correct composition on some custom TSF3 edit controls on PC.
  • We fixed an issue where you might not be able to type in text into Search or some Store apps without having to restart the process.
  • We have fixed an issue where keyboard input on some Windows tablet devices would not rotate to landscape normally.

I ran into this issue from the last build. I am glad they identified and quickly applied a fix.

Will this only work in the US, Canada and UK?

Nice to see another app supporting the platform but it is Starbucks. I have issues with them.

A bit Off Topic here but;

 

Microsoft Cuts Lumia 950 and XL Prices, Throws in Free Display Dock

The Lumia sale puts the 950 XL at $449, and the 950 at $399. With the added price of the Display Dock, customers could be looking at savings of up to $290.

Sure enough I checked out MS's online store and here is what I found;

You know. I am happy that MS takes its time with the Anniversary Update. I have the bug where if I call, or answer a call, the screen turns off, and doesn't back on until the call is ended. As the screen is off, you can't end the call. So you have to wait for the other person to end the call, and wait a few seconds after. Power button or double tap doesn't work to fix this. I still have issues with my car Bluetooth. It still manages to, after many connects and disconnects, to crash my car infotainment system. It reboots and I loose my rear and side camera views, and makes the car look bad to others. I usually need to force restart my phone to make it connect again after my car infotainment crashes. I beleive the reason is that the phone craps out with bluetooth (who knows, maybe sends a million connection like if wasn't connected while streaming music, voice and so on), and that crashes the car system. But anyway.. I doubt Bluetooth will be fixed, but the call screen off bug is a must.

Microsoft releases a new build to Insiders for all rings (including Release Preview): 14939.67.

This is not Redstone 2. This is Microsoft trying to fix the final issues of the Anniversary Update to officially release it.

Microsoft only shares 2 things fixed, but as usually, it probably contains more fixes as you can imagine from the big increase in the sub build number.

Quote
  • Addressed issue that causes significantly reduced battery life on Windows Phone when using Bluetooth with “Hey Cortana” feature enabled.
  • Addressed issue that prevents users from completing the out-of-box experience (OOBE) with a local account using Korean characters.

So after doing some testing, it looks like, at least for the Lumia 950 XL

  • Double tap to wake was a improved and works well (it was iffy in the previous build).
  • Bluetooth connectivity with car has been improved, but still need to check the compatibility option for voice for it to work, despite a new car.
  • When receiving a call, or doing a call, the screen no longer turns off on itself, and stay off until the conversation ended. The proximity sensor which turns off the screen when next to your head, and turn it back on when it is away seems to be working very well.

No other issues detected so far. Need to test answering a call in the car, cause 2 builds ago it was not working. But assuming that continues to work, then great! It looks like it could be a release candidate for the Anniversary Update... at least for my phone. Of course, I didn't do any rigorous testing, and might encounter other issues, but so far so good.

Yes. But once upgraded, it will no longer work (as Microsoft moved it within the OS - Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program). So, you can remove the app after. :)

Redstone 2 builds started on PC. Microsoft says that Mobile will need to wait, as the company is laser focused on getting the Anniversary Update of Windows 10 Mobile ready.

They say that they are almost ready. I must concur with my personal experience with my device.

 

Quote

I know a lot of Insiders are wondering about Mobile. Just like we did after the release of the Windows 10 November Update – we are starting off by releasing PC builds from our Development Branch first and then start releasing Mobile builds a few weeks after. Right now, the team is laser-focused on preparing to release the Windows 10 Anniversary Update to Mobile devices and we think we’re almost ready. You can help us out by making sure you are running Build 14393.67 (KB3176931) on your phone and sending in feedback on any issues you run into via the Feedback Hub. Our team is determined to make sure we release a high quality build to our customers and your feedback really makes a difference. I also recommend reading this post regarding supported Mobile devices for the Windows Insider Program going forward.

For those interested,

A team called: Dormant Hackers Team, over XDA forum made an app for Windows 10 Mobile device that have been excluded from Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update due to the spec increase. This app makes the phone ID itself as a Lumia 950 XL, and therefore able to to get the anniversary Update.

 

The team is working in trying to get Windows Phone 8.1 users that can't get Windows 10 Mobile to get it, and getting 512MB phones get it as well.

 

The process of the app is simple:

 - Install the app

 - Run it

 - Say if your phone is single SIM or dual SIM

 - Tap on "Allow update" (your phone will be renamed to Lumia 950 XL)

 - Select which ring of Windows 10 Mobile Insider you want to join and get.

 

You must keep note that the phone were excluded due to low specs or missing technologies. So upgrading your phone to Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update may affect your experience now or later on, and of course, there is no support.

 

I expect Microsoft will try and block this, because FOR SURE you'll have people going on the feedback hub complain about performance, and Microsoft will think it is Lumia 950 XL users that have performance problems.

 

Anyway, here is the thread:
